That's the part i'm getting at! 60 yards isn't that far. John beck threw 70 yard dart in college. There just isn't film out there of Tate throwing deep balls that aren't lobs up. Any HS QB could probably throw 60 yard ball. Will it be pretty, no. Will it be accurate **** no. Do i think Tates arm is better than that of course i do but we can not watch film and pretend that he has this arm that just hasn't been unleashed because, well if he did, fields would probably be at another school.
So Martell is expendable but Fields is a stud? Martell will throw some deep to JT, and as long as he can lead him I am fine. Many of the plays that killed us with Rosier were short and mid level passes. If 9oh4 is correct with throwing ropes, we are in good shape if (and it is a big if) Martell can get the pass to the spot on time. Rosier was late due to mechanics and it hurt us repeatedly.
Little things make and break games. I look for Martell to do the little things, Rosier and to some effect Perry could not do. If he can do it we should be happy next season.
I will say have have seen many strong armed QB's do nothing in their careers, but I remember a guy named Dorsey that was said to have a weak arm. Also, I think a guy named Walsh. How would you like to have them back?
